Although it seemed an episode taken from a satire, it actually happened: the governor of New Jersey and one of the leaders of the Republican party, Chris Christie, closed the beaches of his state, but he was caught red-handed, enjoying them at ease, with his family and friends.

The residents of that state were already drawing sparks, when they learned that on the eve of the July 4 holiday, one of the favorite times to enjoy the beaches, they could not visit them, because Christie ordered to close them in response to the ongoing budget stagnation. of the state legislature. But the anger of the residents of the state grew even more when they learned that the president and those close to him did have exclusive access to them.

According to a NJ.com report, the governor enjoyed the good weather and the long weekend at Beach State Park in Berkeley. The photograph where he appears sitting in front of the sea with a select group of people, has spread like wildfire. It is evident that they are the only ones in that place because, well, only a few hours before he had ordered them closed.

Responding to the criticism this has generated, Christie defended herself by saying that he had previously announced his vacation plans and the media simply "discovered a politician who was keeping his word."

After those photos were taken, the governor boarded the state helicopter to address a press conference in the city of Trenton. When asked about his visit to that beach on Sunday, he simply regretted not having had a sunny day.
